January 24, 2013

MACOMB, IL – The French Conversation will be held at Western Illinois University Wednesdays throughout the semester. La Table Française, or The French Conversation Hour, will be held in Morgan Hall, room 330, from 3-4:15 p.m. each Wednesday.

According to Assistant Professor Edmund Asare of the WIU Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, La Table Française allows time for practice among "people with a passion for the French language and francophone culture, and members of the French speaking community on and around campus." All levels of speakers are welcome.

"Attendees have an opportunity to practice French in a relaxed atmosphere and to share their experiences about French/Francophone culture," Asare said. "We also learn about the different cultures of the Francophone world."
